Hi everyone, finally returning from a long hiatus.
Just a little change to the character of Kara, she is now disabled forearm crutches most of the time but also a part time wheelchair user.
Here we go!
(War room)
Everyone gathered into the room for the day's briefing where Matty and Taylor waited.
"Well, good morning everyone!" Taylor greeted cheerfully with a wide smile adorning his face.
The rest of the team looked at each other with confused glances.
"You seem a little…chipper today." Desi noted.
"Yeah what's that all about?" Bozer added.
"The reason for my positive mood this morning is because today, Kara" He pointed
"You have a special part to play in today's assignment." Taylor announced.
"Special?" Kara lifted one eyebrow.
Matty directed attention toward the screen as images popped up.
"This is Blaze Carter, Originally from Canada she has been flagged as a possible threat. From what we know so far she is trying to sell sensitive intel that within the wrong hands could cause quite the chaos."
"Such as?" Macgyver asked curiously.
"From anything like controlling electrical vehicles on the interstates, to shutting off railroad communication and possibly even airline control towers." Russ explained.
"She's disabled?" Kara observed
"That she is, which brings me to your assignment, this is going to be an undercover op, Kara you will be portraying Blaze, as much as you are an ambulatory wheelchair user, for this it requires the act of full time use on this mission."
"But I don't look anything like her." Kara stated.
" From what we've seen of Blaze's communication of her clients no one knows what she looks like except for making the idea of disability pretty clear to them." Matty told her.
"But what about my still existing urges to get up and walk or my tendency towards forgetfulness?" She inquired.
"That's why Mac will be by your side during this mission to help you with the parts you aren't used to, Riley I'll need you to work on mirroring Blaze's systems so we can set up meetings with her buyers over the next few days and get the blueprints for the hotel resort"
"On it." Riley pulled out her tablet.
"Desi you'll be there on stand-by just in case." Taylor voiced.
"Ok" Kara sighed. "I guess I'm up for the challenge."
"Alright you guys, Wheels up in thirty." Matty finished.
(Hotel resort, Seattle.)
A green light flickered on as the room key was inserted, Mac held the door open while Kara pushed the wheels forward to go inside.
"Wow.." Kara marveled looking around seeing such a big suite.
She turned herself in the chair towards Macgyver. "I can get up when we're in here right?"
Mac grabbed the curtain and pulled it closed.
"How about you practice a chair transfer first?" He suggested.
Kara shrugged her shoulders. "Alright." she answered and rolled over to the couch.
Getting as close to it as she could, Kara looked up to Mac for reassurance.
"You got this."
Taking a deep breath she shakily started to push off with her hands, trying to propel with arms only but started tipping, falling forward. Mac quickly reached out and caught her.
"Thanks, this is more difficult than I thought."
Mac's phone buzzed and he pulled it out of his pocket holding it up to see the screen.
"Looks like we have the first client for tomorrow."
He looked back over to see Kara slide herself onto the couch.
"There you go!" Mac reached out and both high fived each other.
"Now comes the tricky part" He turned the wheelchair towards her. "Getting back in."
(Downstairs in the Lobby)
Desi and Riley approached the front desk. "Hello, I think there might be a problem with the heating mechanism in the pool room, could you take a look?"
"Sure" The employee answered and came around front and began to follow Desi, Riley waited for them to be out of sight before running behind the desk and into the back office locating the computer and plugging the tablet into the system.
After a few minutes of typing she finished routing access to everything they would need and pulled the cord out, looking around to make sure the way out was still clear.
Riley put her finger to the ear com. "All set"
(Hotel Suite)
There was a knock at the door, Mac got up and looked through the peak hole on the door and opened it once he knew who it was.
A man handed him a bag of restaurant food and he handed the man a cash tip. "Thanks."
He closed the door and held it up a bit looking over the inside while walking toward one of the beds.
"How are you feeling about this mission?" He asked Kara while handing her some of the food.
"Nervous…I mean this blaze, she's probably rough and tough and I'm the opposite." She shrugged.
"But you're an excellent actor." He pointed out.
"Yeah but it's easier to perform on stage than to do it in real life trying to convince a bunch of bad guys." Kara took a few bites of the pasta in front of her.
"Just remember, I'll be right there, Riley and Desi will be close by."
"That's why I'm just nervous, not panicking." Kara answered, pushing the fork around her plate.
Another knock was heard at the door, mac rushed over and looked through the peephole but relaxed when he saw who it was, reaching up to release the chain lock and open the door.
Riley and Desi both came into the room.
"Hi guys!" Kara greeted.
Hey there, you like the room?" Riley asked, sitting down next to her and starting to pull the tablet from her backpack.
"It's really nice."
"Got the blueprints?" Mac asked Riley and came over to see the screen."
"That and all access to security cameras, employee access codes, the whole package." Riley Admonished while swiping through everything.
"Mac any clients yet?" Desi inquired.
"Yes, I just heard from one a little bit ago, we should be meeting with them after breakfast in the morning."
Mac pulled a briefcase out and placed it on the bed and entered the key code, lifting up the lid showing several silver USB drives.
"Seems convincing." Desi remarked.
"Those buyers won't know what's coming, instead of getting intel, it'll track their location plus save and send all the information on the hard drive." Kara explained.
(Downstairs Casino)
"Fold" A man laid all his cards on the table.
Two other men beside him became frustrated and slammed theirs down after losing.
The winner began collecting the earnings and placing it all in a bag.
"What's the plan for tomorrow?" His partner asked.
"Simple, will wait for the seller to be alone, stun gun and take her to the room, after all she's handicapped, can't get anywhere without the chair, no ability to escape."
"But how will we get her to talk and give up where the rest of the stuff is?" His partner questioned
"You just need to watch and learn, I have ways of making people talk!"
"Fair enough."
